3 What Is Community Action? Community Action Agencies are locally controlled non-profit organizations that work to improve the lives of low-income individuals by creating opportunities for increased self-sufficiency and greater participation in the community. In Oklahoma, Community Action Agencies serve all 77 counties. One of the strengths of Community Action is its local control and local decision-making. Each board has at least one-third of its membership representing low-income residents, one-third local elected officials or their designees, and the remainder representing local business, civic organizations, faith-based group, and similar interests in the community. Community Action Agencies that have Head Start grants must also have board members who have expertise in fiscal management, early childhood education, and an attorney (or consultants), plus parents of children enrolled in Head Start and additional members selected for expertise in education, business administration, or community affairs. This unique board structure allows each local Community Action Agency to determine the most effective programs based on the needs of communities in its service area. Each Community Action Agency operates a wide variety of programs that are based upon the needs of each local community which are identified through a needs assessment. Different communities have different needs. The local Community Action Agency responds to the specific needs of each community. Community Action Agencies provide a broad range of programs. They weatherize homes to reduce a family s energy costs while helping them stay warm in the winter. They provide early childhood programs to help prepare youngsters to succeed in school. They build affordable houses so families can have a home of their own. They help families complete and file their federal and state tax returns free. They provide opportunities for senior citizens to stay active in their communities through volunteer programs. They provide transit programs to get families to medical appointments and workers to jobs. They help the elderly maintain their health through nutrition programs. They help our most vulnerable households avoid loss of essential services through utility payment assistance. They help finance job training programs. Community Action Agencies receive funding from federal and state appropriations as well as private funding sources. The Federal Community Services Block Grant provides core support. It provides administrative and program support to enable Community Action Agencies to partner with other community organizations to provide needed services. Community Action Agencies were established under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 to fight America s War on Poverty. ii

High St. Antlers, OK Success Stories: Re-Run Junction Thrift Stores Provide Jobs and Growth Opportunities For Paul Lawson, a job at the Duncan Re-Run Junction Thrift Store led to independence and statewide recognition. The thrift store employs people with developmental disabilities and provides them with opportunities to learn to attain full-time employment and be independent. When he came to work in 2008, Paul was living with a friend. The job enabled him to move into his own apartment. He is an active part of his community assisting neighbors who need help. He attends church and competed in the 2009 Oklahoma Special Olympics. Paul was awarded the 2009 Governor s Award of Excellence. Paul now holds down two other part-time janitorial jobs and has twice been recognized as employee of the month. Toni Gottschalk has been with Big Five in Duncan for almost 2 years. It was an adjustment for her after moving to a new area knowing few people. She has grown tremendously in that time. She has been part of the agencies Human Rights Committee for over a year now and was just elected secretary. Toni works full time at the Re-Run junction thrift store. When she started she did not know the difference between men and women s shirts, she did not know how to iron clothes or run a register. Now with the minimal encouragement from a job coach she can do it all. Now she likes to help other coworkers with those skills. She assists customers with sizes, prices and checking out. She can count money back to a customer and answers the business phone to direct calls like a true professional. She is a wonderful addition to our store and sets a wonderful example for a good work ethic. She notices when she makes a mistake and learns from them. It has been amazing watching her grow into the person she is today. 3

However these ladies go beyond the normal mold for women their age. The residents at these two Daily Living Support units, that are part of the Big Five Youth provided school supplies Youth served through summer program State appropriated funds provided on youth programs The Ladies on Carter Street Developmental Disabilities program, are full of spirit and determination explained Daela Echols, Big Five program coordinator. A few of the events planned by the ladies this year were the annual Easter Egg Hunt and festivities at the city park, hosting a BBQ for friends, and attending the 4 th of July festivities and fireworks show. In September all 6 ladies rented a cabin at Lake Murray State Park and had a camping adventure. They attended numerous parties including a full dress Halloween costume party. They fully enjoyed the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, making sure to take advantage of the festivities of the seasons. This may not sound too adventurous, Echols noted, but these ladies have not always been this active. They range in age from 48 to 78 years. Some have mobility difficulties but they do not let this slow them down. They have bonded and care very much for each other. The ladies have really progressed over the past year. Their accomplishments in communication, self avocation, mobility and their desire to be involved in their community continue to increase. Echols attributes a lot of the changes to caring, motivated staff. 5
